New Delhi: At least three security personnel were killed and 14 injured in a Naxal attack at Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur-Sukma border on Tuesday. According to officials, the personnel were patrolling in Sukma district when they came under fire. To keep a check on Naxal activity, a new security camp was established in Tekalgudem, a village on Bijapur-Sukma border, to benefit the people of the area with basic facilities. Son after, Maoists opened fire on the CoBRA/STF/DRG force while they were conducting anti-naxal operations in Jonaguda-Aliguda area. After the encounter, the Maoists fled taking cover in the forest, The Indian Express reported.
All the 14 injured security personnel were airlifted to Raipur for advanced treatment.
Earlier this month, security forces had set up two police camps in the district, considered a core Naxal area, deep inside the forest. On Republic Day, the Indian Tricolour was hoisted for the first time in the Sukma-Bijapur area.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah recently chaired a review meeting with all stakeholders in Chhattisgarh’s capital Raipur on Left Wing Extremism (LWE), where he said the Maoist menace should end in the next three years.
